It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Waking life is one of those movies, that in the middle of them you just know that It's the kind of movies that you know you are going to watch over and over again. it handles a bunch of the hardest questions that many intellectual and open minds ask in life, where you seem you have someone to speak with you about some of the ideas that go through your mind. Excellent movie.

This film is one of the most masterful successes of independent cinema. The scenes move from one to the other in a work of art. The ramblings in the dialogue represents a passion in all existence and their struggle to figure things out.Why am I here? What am I doing? Who will I find? The answer is nobody really knows and there are infinitely many amounts of reasons for why people exist in a certain place and a certain time. Never has a film empowered me by its curiosity and direct dialogue that makes you feel like a part of this "dream" that is someone's life in his dying hours, or his awakening. Existence is eternal.9/10 for the reason that its complex and constant dialogue weighs down the movie midway.

Prepare to check your mind in at the door, make sure it's healthy and clear, and prepare to have it implode on you. Waking Life is the most philosophically engaging film of all-time. It meanders through time and space, and reality and dreams. It questions everything, and I mean, everything. Life, Death, Freewill, Recorded History, Society, Politics, Behaviors.. you name it, Linklater covers it all in a span of 90 minutes. There's so much here, it's just too much to take in. It demands patience, intelligence and repeated viewings. Unfortunately, I think this will only be a one time experience for me. This film is astounding and absorbing in many of its parts, but it asks a lot of your mind to take. I think it was a great decision to animate this in vivid rotoscope, because without it, many audiences would get restless and annoyed. I really admire Linklater as a director, for challenging the way we watch movies, and the way we think about ourselves and others. I'd love to just chill with him one day, and see how well he could pick my brain. He's a genius. I think he understands the world, and humanity, more than I ever will.

Richard Linklater has proved again his brilliance trough this movie. The script is filled with deep thought provoking conversation which stays with us even after watching the movie. Like another user said, this movie is a 90minute philosophy class. It's a must watch for deep thinkers who are interested in philosophy.Note: This movie is not for easy viewing after a hard day's work. It's one of those movies which demand attentiveness throughout length of the movie. To fully appreciate the sheer genius of the script, you need to watch the movie repeatedly. I am sure it will get only more interesting with each viewing.
